2005 Audi TT Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 AUDI TT ROADSTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN PUNCTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,489 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,495.

WHILE STARTING OFF IT JERKS AND THE PRNDS FLASH. I LOOKED ALL OVER THE NET. AND IT'S A GEARBOX PROBLEM. AUDI WANTS 9500 CANADIAN TO FIX A 17000 CAR. THERE ARE LOTS OF LINKS UNDER DSG GEARBOX. I TALKED TO AUDI THEY SAY IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL. I LIVE IN CANADA. *JS

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS AROUND THE CONNECTOR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD OR BACKWARD TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT SIZE DRIVERS. REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG DID NOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 AUDI TT QUATTRO ROADSTER, PURCHASED NEW IN 2005. HAVE HAD DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE - TWICE - IN 2 YEARS! FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATIONS, COOLANT SENSOR MALFUNCTION (HAD TO REPLACE COOLANT SENSOR TO THE TUNE OF OVER $400! JUST TWO MONTHS AGO), RADIO TURNS ITSELF ON AFTER I'VE EXITED THE VEHICLE, ETC. FIRST TIME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. CAR NOW HAS 50,000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. ADDITIONALLY, INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE. IDIOT LIGHT COMES ON, LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT OUT. TURN OFF LIGHTS, 5 - 10 SECONDS, TURN BACK ON, EVERYTHING IS FINE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, BUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. BOTH TIMES, SHOP REPLACED HEADLIGHT. NOW NEW WRINKLE - WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (2ND, 3RD, 4TH, AND OCCASIONALLY 5TH) UP, RPM'S REV, ENGINE REVS AND IT SEEMS TO WHIR BEFORE CATCHING GEARS. ONLY WHEN SHIFTING UP, NEVER DOWN. WHAT'S UP? IS ALL THIS AN INHERENT ELECTRICAL ISSUE? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 AUDI TT QUATRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER HAS MADE SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO DIAGNOSE THE MALFUNCTION. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.
